    Super producer Bangladesh, aka Shondrae Crawford, rocked his brand new doo in celebration of his birthday in Atlanta last night (March 13, 2013).

    The Grammy award-winning producer, DJ and rapper, best known for producing beats like “What’s Your Fantasy” for Ludacris and his most successful single, Lil Wayne’s “A Milli,” partied the night away at Atlanta’s STK restaurant, turning it into a fantasy filled soiree filled with exotic “animals” and good times.

    Celebs spotted at the crowded event include: Evan Ross (A.T.L.), Marlo Hampton (RHOA), Demetria McKinney (Tyler Perry’s House of Payne), D-Woods (Danity Kane), Monifa, Syleena Johnson (R&B Divas), Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins (TLC), DJ Drama, Erica and Lil’ Scrappy, DJ Traci Steele, Ariane Davis (Love and Hip Hop) and more.

    L.L. Cool J, host of the 55th annual Grammy Awards, posed the ladies of?D’Milikah Swimwear in the Grammy Awards gift lounge last Friday (February 7, 2013).Kenneth Daniels and Michelle ATLien Brown

    The Gift Lounge is a private event held at the Staples Center and is open only to GRAMMY invitees and?media?during the three days of GRAMMY rehearsals (Feb. 7-9).

    I also had the honor of attending the lounge and walked away with several goodies from New Era, Chakalates (Chaka Khan’s chocolates), Diet Pepsi, DeviceWear and more.

    The Lounge gives GRAMMY presenters and performers an exclusive introduction to new and exciting products and while I was merely a lowly blogger in the mix, I mingled with celebrity guests like Chaka Khan, Terrell Owens, Sean Stockman (BoyzIIMen), Ashanti, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Kimberly Elise, Miguel and more.

    In Case You Missed It: ‘Totally T-Boz’ (Episode #2)

    Jan, 9 2013 | Written by ATLien

    totally t-boz 1
    The 2nd episode of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins” 4-part reality series aired last night (January 8, 2013).totally t-boz 2

    No shade… but I can almost understand why TLC only bought 4 episodes of the show. T-Boz and her former group TLC are iconic and there appears to be a bit of interest in seeing her succeed BUT there’s something missing and I don’t mean drama.

    [READ: Did Premiere of ‘Totally T-Boz’ Hit The Mark? Watch FULL 1st Episode (VIDEO)]

    Hopefully episode 3 will reel us in and we’ll all be cheering by the episode 4 finale.

    But I digress.

    In this recent episode, T-Boz returns to Atlanta to tie up a few loose ends. She appears on the now defunct Frank & Wanda Morning Show to discuss the new single she’s working on.

    T-Boz? also decides to reunite with her father prior to final move to Cali. She shares with the audience how her father wasn’t really a part of her childhood, but they have since reconciled and she wants her father to develop a better relationship with her daughter, Chance.

    A few of T-Boz’s Atlanta friends make appearances as they celebrate her last day in the “A” with a going away party held at Cascade skating rink.

    And the question remains…

    Does T-Boz have what it takes to get back out on stage and conquer audiences around the world like she once did? Or, will her drive for a solo career crumble in her path and end TLC forever?

    In case you missed it, watch the 2nd episode of ‘Totally T-Boz’ below… Continue Reading…

    Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins’ new reality show “Totally T-Boz” premiered last night (January 1, 2012).T-boz-20121-300x260

    [FLASHBACK: Reality Show Alert! T-Boz’ “Totally T-Boz” Coming Soon To TLC… ]

    As discussed in earlier posts, the premise of T-Boz’s new show is that she moves to Los Angeles from Atlanta with a few of her closest friends and family members to work on her solo career.

    The first thing I thought of, was when was the last time you heard T-Boz sing acapella… or better yet, have you EVER heard T-Boz sing… I mean REALLY sinnnng??

    Personally I couldn’t imagine Watkins or her fellow TLC bandmate Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas venturing out alone musically, although Chilli has tried a time or two.

    [FLASHBACK: Chilli’s New Album Cover + New Single “DUMB DUMB DUMB” (AUDIO)]

    CLICK TO WATCH TLCs 2011 American Idol PerformanceThe two were rumored to be planning a TLC reunion tour, but Watkins, who has chronic sickle cell anemia, said she has flareups which makes it tough for her perform.

    [WATCH: TLC’s 2011 American Idol Performance (VIDEO)]

    But…. she feels she?s healthy enough to return to the music business to ?reinvent? herself.? Hence… her new reality show, ?Totally T-Boz,? which has been picked up for four 1-hour episodes.

    It’s about 20 years later, me coming back from the brain tumor and doing things I want to do.

    You’ll hear about all that in the show, my real-life struggles, being a single mother. I don’t care how much money you have in the world. It’s not about that. It’s all about time. I’m in charge of raising a young woman one day, to be a mother and hopefully a wife. All of that.

    As you know, being a parent, that’s probably the hardest job ever.

    “Totally T-Boz” is real — especially compared with most shows,” says Watkins, “they’re fake as all get-out, right? I’m real!”

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
